Game Crashing on Launch or Hanging on Character Load

Infernowolf

Half the time my game will crash on launch before the login screen. If I manage to make it to character select, it will hang in an infinite load screen after selecting a character and eventually I will have to force close it from task manager.
I also don't see my cursor when on the sign-in screen or the character select screen so if I'm tabbed out I'm basically playing a guessing game trying to click the password line to log in. It was crashing on launch before u35 but a simple repair fixed it. Now a repair, disk check etc. have all not fixed it.

I was able to add it to Steam and launch it via Steam with no issues. and yes, I could continue to play it that way but launching it that way results in my Discord overlay not showing up when in voice chat with others so I would prefer to continue launching it via the ESO launcher.

Our help article below has troubleshooting to assist with ESO crashing.

What do I do if ESO is crashing with the error "ESO has stopped working"?
